URRF6 Rocket

This is the URRF 6 3D print rocket! For those who may be unfamiliar, URRF stands for Upstate Research Rocketry Festival, an annual event held in Potter, New York. Visit www.urrf.us to learn more about this exciting festival. This model has been extensively tested and flies exceptionally well on B6-4 motors, with outstanding results achieved on C6-5 motors, and impressive altitude gains when powered by a composite 18mm D21 motor! A recommended recovery setup consists of a couple of yards of 1.3mm kevlar cord tied to an Estes 12" parachute. The nosecone and body feature loops for secure attachment. To ensure optimal stability, the body was printed with 15% infill, while the nosecone boasts 50% infill. Cura slicing software was used in conjunction with Octet or Cubic infill patterns to provide excellent strength in all directions. Feel free to experiment with these settings to tailor the rocket's strength and stability to your preferences. PLA+ is the preferred material for printing, but regular PLA has also been successfully used by other enthusiasts without any issues. However, D motors may generate excessive heat, potentially melting the plastic slightly. If you're interested in trying Sunlu PLA+, please visit this link: https://amzn.to/2LBoeAj The body's walls are 0.8mm thick, making 0.8mm wall thickness an ideal choice for printing. This rocket can be printed within a 100x100x130mm build area. For optimal results, we strongly recommend using Brim and supports to ensure secure adhesion to the build plate, particularly when building the body. Failing to do so may result in knocked-off fins before they're fully attached.
